How Your Body Moves
Your brain fires electrical signals at 268 mph through a network of nerves to coordinate 600+ muscles. Understand the system that prosthetics replicate.
The Science of Prosthetics.
Engineering Human Performance.
Explore how carbon fiber running blades store up to 90% of energy, bionic arms read muscle signals, and athletes redefine what the human body can achieve.
Explore the Technology
Six deep dives into the engineering, science, and stories behind modern prosthetics.
Mechanical Prosthetics
Body-powered arms that work like bicycle brakes. Pull a cable, open a hook. No batteries needed -- just clever engineering with over 100 years of refinement.
Running Blades
Inspired by cheetah anatomy and built from carbon fiber -- the same material in Formula 1 cars. These J-shaped springs return up to 90% of running energy.
Bionic Arms
EMG sensors detect tiny electrical signals from your muscles and translate them into six distinct grip patterns. Most kids learn to control one in under 10 minutes.
Paralympic Athletes
Meet the competitors who prove prosthetics enable extraordinary performance. Gold medals, world records, and stories that redefine what's possible.
Future Technology
Prosthetics that sense temperature, mind-controlled fingers, and 3D-printed devices that cost $50 instead of $100,000. The next generation is here.
